Causes of capacitor impregnation

The classic capacitor failure mechanism is di­electric breakdown. The dielectric in the capacitor is subjected to the full potential to which the device is charged and, due to small capacitor physical sizes, high electrical stresses are common. Dielectric breakdowns may develop after many hours of satisfactory operation.

6 FAQs about [Causes of capacitor impregnation]

Does impregnation fluid cause power capacitor failure?

The leakage of impregnation fluid causes most power capacitor failures, which is largely resulted from the compatibility problems. In the present study, the compatibility between gasket material and the most widely used impregnation fluid of benzyl toluene (M/DBT) was studied.

What causes a capacitor to fail?

In addition to these failures, capacitors may fail due to capacitance drift, instability with temperature, high dissipation factor or low insulation resistance. Failures can be the result of electrical, mechanical, or environmental overstress, "wear-out" due to dielectric degradation during operation, or manufacturing defects.

What causes open capacitors?

Open capacitors usually occur as a result of overstress in an application. For instance, operation of DC rated capacitors at high AC current levels can cause a localized heating at the end terminations. The localized heating is caused by high 12R losses. (See Technical Bulletin #10).

Do electrolytic capacitors fail?

All of electrolytic capacitors are frequency and temperature sensitive , have a fairly short lifespan and have a fairly high failure rate . There are many studies on the failure modes of electrolytic capacitors, and mainly aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

What causes a capacitor to deteriorate under normal conditions?

These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is therefore the essential cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions. The physical consequences are: increase of ESR and decrease of C. These two parameters are therefore essential both to measure the health of capacitors, but also to build aging models.

What type of impregnation fluid is used to test a capacitor?

The capacitor impregnation fluid selected for the test sample is M/DBT, the commercial model of which was Jarylec C101, and the main components were shown in Table 1. Table 1. The main components of M/DBT.
